Sources: latest MacBook Pro photo is the real deal

Comment in News (6 diggs, 2 replies) - on 10/10/2008
Could someone explain the benefit of a notebook case made from a single piece of aluminium? I get that it's clever, but what's the actual point behind it? (see comment)

Private Sign [PIC]

Comment in Images (0 diggs, 0 replies) - on 10/01/2008
Erm, it's a (fairly poor) attempt at comedy. The other classic is a sign that says 'Do no throw stones at this sign' (see comment)

The Curse Word 'Battlestar Galactica' Created

Comment in News (15 diggs, 3 replies) - on 09/03/2008
Substituting a real curse word for a made up one so as to be able to say it at will is not original at all. There are numerous other examples, e.g.: 'Smeg' from Red Dwarf 'Feck!' from Father Ted 'Drokk!' from Judge Dredd Personally I love 'feck' and us … (see comment)

20/20: Pot Dealer's Tragic Choice Ended In Her Death

Comment in Videos (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 08/03/2008
America - I love your country (I'm in SF for business probably once a month) and I love you (I've never met nicer, more open and friendly people). But seriously - your politics and police force are FUCKED UP. (see comment)

Cop Knocked Down Bicyclist & Blatantly Lies in Arrest Report

Comment in News (7 diggs, 0 replies) - on 07/30/2008
It just shows the utter lies that the police *know* they can file to defend any action they care to take. They feel protected knowing that the law will always come down in their favor - unless there's a camera present that they didn't know about. Fascist … (see comment)

Epic says Unreal Engine 4 coming within the next few years!

Comment in News (1 digg, 1 reply) - on 07/25/2008
Yes it is! If someone told you to put your hand in a bag of marbles and pull out 'a few', you would very easily pull out a number of marbles between 4 and 10. What do you think of as 'a few'? I'm intrigued... (see comment)

Finally, it's time for Wine

It wouldn't make your gag any funnier, but at least saying 'brandy' might make it more accurate (see comment)

Community Powered Local Search - This Could Actually Work

Comment in News (2 diggs, 0 replies) - on 05/20/2008
SPAM! C'mon people... this is clearly a spam post. The blog is probably owned by someone with an interest in the project. He writes a glowing review in his unknown blog, posts it to Digg and some of his friends even add comments like 'Pretty useful...' Ar … (see comment)

Portraits of People Taken Before and After They Died [PICS]

Comment in Images (29 diggs, 1 reply) - on 04/01/2008
I'm normally a pretty hard-nosed SOB but that moved me. It's astonishing what photography (and a few words) can achieve. I'm gonna go hug my daughter. (see comment)

Happens to me, too. I've read to the bottom of this page and I've still got 'Transferring data from y.digg.com' and the throbber. I haven't noticed it on any other site. (see comment)

Rumors and Speculation

Comment in News (-1 diggs, 1 reply) - on 03/07/2008
Like all true conspiracy theorists, you don't appear able to digest the full facts. Keep reading. "Sorry to burst any drama theories, but they aren’t true." (see comment)

Zero Punctuation: Call of Duty 4

Comment in Videos (2 diggs, 0 replies) - on 02/06/2008
I'll no doubt get buried quicker than a pox-ridden witch in the Middle Ages for saying this, but am I the only one who thinks that Yahtzee may now be trying a little too hard to live up to his own rep? These 'reviews' are becoming less about the game and … (see comment)

Google Experimenting With Digg Style Voting On Search Results

Comment in News (37 diggs, 2 replies) - on 11/29/2007
This isn't Digg style voting at all. Your vote only influences future searches from your own account. Can you imagine how people would game Google if this was every to be fully implemented. Companies would be hiring people to create new Google accounts an … (see comment)

Miro 1.0 is here.

Comment in News (1 digg, 2 replies) - on 11/14/2007
Is anyone running it successfully on Leopard? Miro, in conjunction with the tvRSS website, has been my favorite application for some time - until I installed Leopard. Now it won't pick up any torrents I give it - just sticks endlessly on 'Connecting to Pe … (see comment)

Rumor: Digg close to a $300 million sale

Comment in News (10 diggs, 6 replies) - on 11/07/2007
I never get these acquisitions. What, exactly, does £300m buy you? Even if it was a bunch of user's surfing habits, how does that ever get monitised? What is it these people are actually buying? (see comment)

Selected Screensavers For Your Desktop - Best Of

Comment in News (9 diggs, 1 reply) - on 10/05/2007
Does anyone else struggle understanding the usefulness of a screensaver that displays RSS feeds? I'm either not at my desk when it kicks in or, if I fancy catching up on the news, I can read feeds that aren't swirling around my screen and require me to wa … (see comment)
